Alex – CHAPTER 13

Allie’s hand glided down Reese’s stomach, fingers trailing back up to skim across her breasts. “I’ve missed you. Missed your body.” Allie snuggled in closer before letting out a sigh of contentment. “Being able to see you only once in two years was hard. But thankfully, that’s behind us. I can’t wait to wake up beside you every morning and fall asleep in your arms every night.”

“I love holding you as you drift off to sleep.” Reggie grabbed the cover and threw it across their bodies. “Being away from you isn’t something I relish thinking about.”

The tips of Allie’s fingers continued to glide across Reese’s breasts, methodically circling her nipples. Their bodies were so in sync that it only took the slightest of touches to ignite a wildfire.

Reese groaned as she grabbed Allie’s hand. “You have to stop touching me like that if we have any hope of getting out of this bed and being on time for dinner with my parents.”

Allie smiled mischievously. “Who said anything about being on time? I’ve always thought it best to arrive fashionably late to all functions.”

“You know we can’t be late. I want to introduce you to my parents. I want them to love you as much as I do, and being late will not endear you to them. My mother is a stickler for being on time. Her philosophy is if you’re on time, you’re late. Anything less than ten minutes early is considered late.” Reese pressed a kiss to Allie’s cheek before sliding out of bed.

From the comfort of emerald green Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy pillows, Allie watched Reese slip on her robe and nervously pace around the room. Reese was doing her best to cover her nervousness by tidying up the already spotless room. Something was clearly bothering her.

Allie sat up, wrapped the sheet around her, and cleared her throat. “Hey, you. Care to tell me what’s going on in that brain of yours? I’m sensing nerves, and I’m not sure why.”

“Everything is fine. I’m a little jet-lagged, is all. I would much rather stay in bed with you than have dinner with my parents. I suspect my father will take the opportunity to pull me aside for a talk. A performance review of sorts.”

“You spent two years doing what he asked you to do. Doing it very successfully, I might add. So why would the possibility of talking to him be a bad thing?”

“Normally, it wouldn’t be. But my father isn’t big on normal. He always has an agenda. I’m just hoping I’m not part of that agenda.”

“What do you mean?” Allie gave Reese a puzzled look. “I feel like I’m missing something. What aren’t you telling me?”

Reese tossed a couple of pillows out of the way and sat on the bed facing Allie. “For the last several months, my father has been hinting about the possibility of me staying in France rather than returning to the States.”

“What? Are you kidding me right now?” Allie launched off the bed.
